Well I've done it.

Well since we moved to NC from CA where the weather is suppose to be so great--this NC weather is the best!! Everyone says the summers are hot and humid but I didn't feel like they were that bad. The winters are definitely not like Mich. My hubbie is originally from Mich and would never go back because of the wicked winters and such hot, humid summers...and he loves it here. It's very mild but it does have seasons--who could ask for more??

A county wide school system doesn't really work well when you have a county with well over 700k people and growing by leaps and bounds (this is by far the thing that most transplants, especially those from the north, aren't very fond of; which is evident in the number of threads which address the issue). We mostly moved back for personal reasons like wanting to be near family and just feeling more at home here.

The triangle is a fine place, very family oriented and there is a lot to do. It is very "clean" for the most part. I liked AND disliked how new everything was, if that makes any sense. The area is also heavily wooded, moreso than most areas even of the eastern US. We lived in several different areas of the Triangle, and our favorite was Apex because it was the only area that still had a genuine small town feel with a nice historic downtown.

For the most part, here in Michigan warm weather ends the Tuesday after Labor Day. You know, the last one out turn the lights off. The gray skies, cold, and feeling like a prisoner in your own is for the birds.

From what I hear Campbell University's Law school will be relocating to Downtown Raleigh. We are one of the few State Capitals w/o a law school in the downtown area. This should only help to bolster the need for more people like you! Good luck!

Isn't Campell University in Harnett County?

Buies Creek. Home of the Fighting Camels.

I gather they're moving the law school to Raleigh though.

Yup! That is why I said the law school was relocating.

Posted: Oct. 4, 2007City officials confirmed Thursday that Campbell University's law school would relocate to a downtown Raleigh office building by 2009.
The Campbell Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to move the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law from the university's campus in Buies Creek to Raleigh, board Chairman Harold Wells said.
"The world we live in is changing," Wells said. "Relocating to Raleigh is in the best interests of the school."
School administrators said the move from rural Harnett County would give the 345 law school students more access to internships with law firms and clerkships with judges.
"Our graduates are part of the fabric of North Carolina," law school Dean Melissa Essary said. "We look forward to building upon our heritage with new opportunities in Raleigh."
About 70 percent of the law school's 2,800 graduates practice in North Carolina, including about 500 in Wake County, Essary said.
Raleigh is the largest state capital in the U.S. without a law school.
Mayor Charles Meeker said the move would capitalize on Raleigh's strength as "a center of education and public service."
Essary, Campbell University President Jerry Wallace and other faculty members were downtown Wednesday afternoon, having their photo taken in front of Hillsborough Place, the office building at the corner of Hillsborough and Dawson streets that will house the law school.
Wallace referred to "The Andy Griffith Show" on Thursday in talking about the importance of moving the law school downtown from Buies Creek.
"As Barney would say to Andy, going to Raleigh is big," Wallace said, eliciting laughs from the dozens of people gathered for the news conference.
Tenants of the building, which is owned by former state lawmaker Art Pope, said they were notified by letter Wednesday that the 107,000-square-foot building would be sold to Campbell by early next year.
Frank Holding Jr., president of First Citizens Bank, will oversee a fundraising campaign to renovate the building for the law school, Wallace said.
Since it was founded in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law has been honored by the American Bar Association for having the nation’s best Trial Advocacy Program and having the nation’s top Professionalism Program.

Interesting, also I'm surprised to hear that Raleigh doesn't have a downtown lawschool associated with a university. I had always thought NCSU had a law school. We had a neighbor who's daughter went to Campell when we lived in Apex, she always had a bright orange sweatshirt on and it looked like she either went to Clemson or Syracuse, she had always said Campbell was a great but little known school, "in the middle of nowhere in Harnett County". I wonder if she'd change her mind about that and go to law school in dt Raleigh. lol.

I love it hot so NC's for me.

The humidity's an issue, but I'll take it over cold any day.
